Chapter 419: In front of Notre Dame

Ping Hanhan smiled and said, "Didn't you come to play alone last year?" So in those days, I checked the map every day to see the information and traveled everywhere, of course, I was very clear about Paris. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Once, I was really lost. At that time, I got on the tram and thought it would be two stops away. Because I had just arrived in France, I found that there was no coin box on the bus when I got on the bus. In a panic, I missed a stop, so I walked for more than three hours in the 13th arrondissement and couldn't find a place to stay. Finally, I stepped forward and asked a middle-aged woman who looked like a Chinese person was passing by. They were very helpful and took me two blocks for nearly an hour, pointing me in the right direction before saying goodbye. An hour later, I finally saw the familiar subway entrance, and I finally found home. At that time, I thought that if I had been more careful before leaving the Netherlands and had a better understanding of this, I would not have been so panicked at all. So in the days when my mom was coming, I not only reviewed my homework, but also added new content. ”

Then, Ping Hanhan began to talk endlessly: "Mom, there are really many places in Paris that are different and very good." For example, the special offer of the Paris Metro: free for children under 4 years old, half price for 4-10 years old. It is not easy to say that the Paris metro is the densest and most convenient urban rail transit system in the world. For those who haven't been to Paris, it's hard to imagine how convenient the metro really is. It can be said that at any point in Paris, if you draw a circle with a radius of 500 meters, there must be a metro station in this circle. The metro serves the Paris metropolitan area and suburbs with 16 lines with 380 stations and is connected to the RER and SNCF transport lines. The first train departs at 5:30 a.m. and the last train departs at 24:30, with one or two metro stations closing after 8 p.m. A map of the metro route can be found at all metro station desks. Ticket prices are up to date since July 2010: €1.70 for one ticket and €12 for ten. Subway tickets that are only used for one-way trips are sold as one or ten. Metro and RER tickets throughout Paris, including the city and suburbs of Paris, do not vary depending on the length of the trip. In other words, one of your tickets can be transferred at will after checking in and entering the station, as long as you don't leave the station. THE SUBWAY INTERCHANGE SIGN IS YELLOW CORRESPONDANCE, AND THE SUBWAY EXIT SIGN IS SORTIE.

See, these are the 20 tickets I just bought, which should be enough for us in Paris. ”

The mother and daughter talked and walked into the subway.

When Pingguo entered the door card, he took the ticket from the upper left pocket and squeaked, so that a French woman who sold tickets poked her head out of the window, thinking that someone had evaded the ticket? Hehe, his face is hideous, his eyes are fierce, and he screams loudly.

Ping Hanhan hurriedly ran over from behind and scolded her loudly in English that I don't know now.

Then, with the help of me, I finally found a new ticket in my left trouser pocket, and swiped it - Pingguo walked in proudly.

Then, Pingguo asked her daughter in confusion, "What is she yelling at?" ”

Ping Hanhan smiled: "Hehe, how do I know what those French words are?" ・・・・・・But apparently, she thinks you're evading the ticket. ”

Pingguo thought, well, this experience can be regarded as the price paid for the fare evasion in Fort. As a result, Pingguo was already at ease.

"The Paris visit card is also essential. This is a pass to visit Paris and the Paris Region. Unlimited travel for 1,2,3,5 days on the Paris Metro, trains of the Paris Region rail network and buses of the Greater Paris region, Versailles, Disneyland Paris, Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports. Price: €8.35 per day for zones 1 to 3 and €23.60 for zones 1 to 8.

So, I will take you to the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Arc de Triomphe, the Élysée Palace, the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre, the Place de la Concorde, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Georges Pompidou National Centre for Culture and Arts, and many other attractions, which are the most popular places for domestic and foreign tourists.

You've just seen the beautiful banks of the Seine, dotted with parks and green spaces, and 32 bridges spanning the river, making the river even more charming. The Île de la Château in the heart of the river is the cradle and birthplace of Paris. The boulevard Saint-Michel-sur-Seine has a second-hand book market that stretches for several kilometers, and many domestic and foreign scholars and tourists come here every day to buy their favorite ancient books, forming a major feature of the Latin Quarter, an ancient cultural district on the banks of the Seine.

The connotation of cultural ecology has made Parisians live in the details. Cultural people are the soul of Parisian social life. 19th-century French writers Balzac, Proust, Baudelaire, George Sand, Chopin, Wilde; In the 20th century, Picasso, Benjamin, Gide, Sartre, Bovva, Camus, Roland Barthes, Foucault, and Marguerite Duras formed the social and cultural communities of Paris and achieved the highest achievements in the history of world culture. Café Lipp, Café de Flora, Café d'Étucius, the entire cultural heart of Paris, are scattered casually, quietly and coolly by the river.

The city is the oldest and liveliest in the city, built in the radial shape of the Place Chartreatét, surrounded by the heart of the Champs-Élysées. In the heart of the city center are Notre-Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité, surrounded by the Seine, and the ancient inciuerie of the District Court of Paris.

To the north of the Île de la Cité, there is the Place de la Concorde, the Paris Opera, the Madeleine Church, the Louvre, and the Tureuil Gardens.

Starting from the Arc de Triomphe, entering the Tuiley Gardens, passing the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde, following the Avenue des Champs to the majestic Arc de Triomphe, and continuing to the Ark building in La Défense, this central axis is a world-famous landscape.

If you take the Champs-Éséeds as the dividing line, and look west, the symbols of Paris, the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides, on the left bank. Further north, the white spire of the Sacré-Coeur on the hill of Montmartre rises like a landmark, second only to the Eiffel Tower. ”

Pingguo sat on the subway seat, stupid and faint, listening. But my eyes were roaming, and I saw so many tall black brothers and sisters, and to be honest, my heart was a little apprehensive. It is the first time to appreciate the black race so closely, in Pingguo. Of course, this also includes the white race.

Ping Hanhan touched Pingguo's cheek and said, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

Pingguo smiled, hysteria came over, and said, "I'm hungry!" ”

For breakfast, of course, bread, ham sausage, fried egg, bacon and milk, but pasta has never been able to fight hunger, because Pingguo was born in Chongqing and is used to rice. Fortunately, the aroma of milk has always remained between his teeth, and Pingguo still loves a European-style breakfast.

Ping Hanhan immediately opened his mind: "Mom, as soon as you get out of the subway, I'll take you to a French dinner." Oh, you don't know, there are many delicacies in Paris, the most famous:

The French Big Snail, a small bar, serves dinner from 7pm, I recommend the leg of lamb and the snails. The leg of lamb tastes good, and the portion is very large, only 11 euros, snails are slightly more expensive, in the Latin Quarter it is about 6 euros 6, 11 euros 12, but this one only costs 7 euros 6.

Later, I invite you to taste French foie gras: the most expensive dish, known as the "king of green food in the world", which can lower cholesterol, lower blood lipids, soften blood vessels, and delay aging. I bought raw foie gras from the supermarket. Done according to the French foie gras recipe. Super tasty.

I prepared it like this: 250 grams of fresh foie gras, 50 grams of onions, 20 grams of red peppers, 10 grams of ginger, a large sheet of tin foil, 10 bamboo skewers, and 10 grams of garlic. Seasoning: 50 grams of peanut oil, 150 grams of salt, 5 grams of monosodium glutamate, a little pepper, 10 grams, 2 grams of sesame oil.

Here's how it is prepared: (1) Cut the foie gras into thin slices, slice the onion, slice the red pepper, peel the ginger and cut the garlic into small pieces. (2) Add a little wine, salt, monosodium glutamate and pepper to the foie gras and marinate for 10 minutes, and string the foie gras, onion and red pepper with bamboo skewers for 10 times. (3) Boil the oil in the pan, put in the foie gras skewers when the oil temperature is 100 degrees, fry them until they are just cooked, pick them up, leave a little oil, fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, put in the foie gras skewers, count the remaining salt, stir-fry the monosodium glutamate, pour sesame oil, put it on the tin foil and wrap it, and put it in the dish.

Finally, it should be noted that when stringing foie gras, it should be skewered with onions and red peppers, and the color and fragrance are complete. ”

Pingguo said cheerfully: "Hehe, the more you talk, the more hungry you become!" I didn't expect the princess to come to study abroad and almost become a celebrity chef. Go back to Fort and you're going to give me a taste! ”

Ping Hanhan smiled and said: "Yes, sir. Don't worry, I promise to complete the task." Speaking of which, France may be the only country with the same reputation as China.

French cuisine is finely selected and elegantly prepared, truffles, snails, and foie gras are famous French dishes, accompanied by mellow wines, intoxicating and delicious, and the price is also very expensive. The three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris is world-famous, with an average of 150 euros per person for a meal, and it is a place where the rich and famous spend a lot of money, and the rules set by the restaurant must be followed.

The average Parisian is more nostalgic for the open-air stalls you mentioned, the uninhibited open-air cafes and affordable and authentic restaurants on the corners, which are simply the daily lifestyle of Parisians. ”

I walked down the street and into a French restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, a handsome French guy immediately came over and gave him a basket of bread first, free of charge, equivalent to an appetizer from a Chinese restaurant.

The so-called "French feast" is actually very small, and those with a big appetite should rely on these breads to fill their stomachs.

As a rule, a 10-15% tip is usually paid to the waiter. So Pingguo began to fight the hunger pang.

After a while, a small box of french fries arrived.

Then, a turquoise and orange-yellow cocktail was served.

"I can see why baguettes are so delicious!" Because if you eat it alone, it has just come out of the oven, and the baked flour is full of flavor, fragrant and delicious. But I can't finish it, and when I eat it the next day, it's as hard as hard rice, with a sour taste, and it's not bad. On the third day, I went to eat it, and it was like gnawing on cowhide bands. ”

Ping Hanhan said: "Yes, so I eat bread alone and never buy baguettes. This basket of baguettes must have been from yesterday, hehe, it's only been a few days, mom is so amazing! The quintessential foodie! ”

Finally, the Mediterranean prawn mussel squid ham paella was served steaming hot in the iron pan, and the mother and daughter feasted on it. Pingguo feels that the taste is good, but without the taste of chili, it seems to have lost its color.

Then, Pinggo found that shopping in Paris was also enjoyable.

The fashion stores and cosmetics stores on the Champs-Élysées do not sell goods, but promote ideas and guide trends. Many, in fact, are actually made in China.

"Paris By night" is an English word that every Parisian understands.

It is said that "Paris by Night" can visit the illuminated monuments, have a luxurious and exquisite dinner, go to the movies or sip coffee in a café; But it usually means dancing or watching a show at a club.

Because Ping Hanhan always said how bad the security in Paris was at night, the mother and daughter basically went home as soon as it was dark. I didn't dare to go anywhere, not even on the Seine at night.

It was noon that day, in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.

A stone stump may have been used to commemorate the photo of tourists, rather than the war weapon that Quasimodo had dropped from the terrace of Notre Dame.

All the tourists from all over the world, as well as the locals, queue up to climb the stone piles in order to fit themselves into the panorama of Notre Dame Cathedral. One by one, go up and down, go down and come up.

Resolutely, Pingguo, who is already one of them, hopes to be with the beauty and ugliness and the gods, and keep Hugo.

A gust of wind came suddenly.

Staggering, Pingguo was a little delayed, and after a moment of solidification on the stone pile, he saw an old Parisian lady with an elegant and delicate temperament standing below - at least seventy years old, a gray silk blouse, a reddish-purple wide silk trousers, moving with the wind, elegant. looked closely, but saw her two eyes, staring at her closely, without blinking.

A little panicked, thinking that the arrogant and elegant old woman of a foreign country was going to be criticized, she hurriedly jumped down, stumbled a few times, and almost fell to the ground.

The old woman of Paris quickly stepped forward and hugged her, so that she could stand on her feet, and her net worth was not at all like that of an old man.

Smiling and smiling, involuntarily, Pingguo said, in English, thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry.

The old woman of Paris said, in French, what Tu es what belles.

Naturally, Mu understood a word, and Pingguo had to smile awkwardly, smile again, and nod and apologize, in English.

Suddenly, I saw her stretch out her thumb and say a word to Pingguo in English: You are so beautiful.

Then he said to the princess Ping Hanhan again, but he gave his thumb up and said to Pingguo, beautiful, charm!

Beautiful? Pingguo has a heart, hehe has his own self-knowledge.

However, the warm words of the exotic elegant and intellectual elderly woman make people miss them forever.

In the future, every time I saw this photo, Pingguo smiled and felt warm and nostalgic.

A rose, given to others, natural fragrance, flat fruit is also constant.
